The sweet potatoes and potatoes are steamed whole, giving them their original flavor. The ground cornmeal is used to make pimple soup, which is more filling than gruel.
After resting for a few days, the men began to plow the land for the second time. This time the land was much softer and easier than the first time.
The straw sandals made by women are sold by the public and are very popular. Especially when working, compared with new cloth shoes, straw sandals are more convenient, durable and resistant to dirt.
This time we are planting wheat and radish.
Wheat is ground into flour to make many delicious foods.
Radish is easy to preserve and rich in nutrients.
Fang You'an has returned to the courtyard to clean up. When he heard that the second batch of farming was going to be carried out, he wanted to go to work.
There is no food for being lazy.
"Wait a minute." Zhu Qinghong stopped Fang You'an who was walking out, "You keep working in the fields, but you can't be my guard."
His eyes lit up, Fang Youan turned around and knelt in front of her: "Please let the city lord explain clearly how I qualify to become a guard."
Looking at Fang Youan, Zhu Qinghong found that he was not as skinny as before, but also taller.
She asked: "How old are you?"
"Eleven years old." Fang Youan looked at Zhu Qinghong with burning eyes. He was young, but he knew very well what kind of path he wanted to take.
Zhu Qinghong nodded: "To become my guard, you need to endure the pain of bone removal and marrow extraction. If you can't survive it, you will die."
Fang Youan kowtowed deeply: "I am willing. As long as I can be the guard of the city lord, I will die without regrets."
"Okay." Zhu Qinghong stepped forward and helped the man up, "Xiaoye, genetically modify him. Prepare an embedded mecha."
[Yes, the owner. Name: Fang Youan. Male, eleven years old. Voluntarily underwent genetic modification to carry an embedded mecha.]
The first time he heard this voice, Fang Youan was extremely shocked. The space door opened and Ono showed his figure.
[Fang You'an, go in. Only after genetic modification can you be qualified to become the master's guard. Do you regret it?]
"Never!" Fang Youan clenched his fists and walked into the space door with firm eyes. Inside was a clean and huge room.
Zhu Qinghong then came in and authorized the startup.
A huge culture tank emerged from the ground, filled with transparent and unknown liquid.
"Fang You'an, take off your clothes and go in." Zhu Qinghong ordered. Fang You'an immediately took off his clothes and walked towards the culture tank.
Two robotic arms stretched out, grabbed him and pulled him into the culture tank. Although he was in an unknown liquid, Fang Youan could breathe.
【Start genetic modification.】
A piece of machinery with a sharp needle fell down, piercing the back of Fang Youan's neck like a snake.
Pain, as if all the bones in the body were broken.
Fang Youan endured it, but something flowed into his body from behind, causing waves of pain. Each wave of pain was more painful than the last. His toes curled up, and his mouth opened wide, unable to make a sound. Fang Youan grabbed the transparent wall cover with both hands.<
/p>
[Master, given his physique, genetic modification will take a month. During this period, an embedded mecha suitable for him will be created.]
"Yes." Zhu Qinghong glanced at the painful Fang You'an, turned and left. After she left, the space door closed on its own.
One month, as long as you survive one month...
Fang Youan clenched his fist. He can become a guard and stand beside his god.
This belief allowed him to persevere and carry on.
Even if countless blood gushes out of the skin and dyes the entire culture tank red...
City Lord's Mansion.
Yuanyou came in happily holding a piece of cloth: "City Lord, the first piece of linen cloth is ready, take a look."
Zhu Qinghong smiled and touched the linen, and was very satisfied: "It's very good. With the cloth, you can make ready-made clothes."
The people in Tianchong City currently only have one set of clothes to wear, which is really shabby.
When ready-made clothes are made, they can also be replaced.
"Yes." Yuan You smiled, "There is food and clothing. The people's lives are getting better and better."
"Not enough." Zhu Qinghong's words made his smile disappear. "There are only a few hundred people in such a big city, which is far from the level of prosperity."
Strong and prosperous, it is still far from the scene in the dream. Yuanyou nodded: "Population is not easy to solve."
Not only is it difficult to solve.
Increasing the population is nothing more than encouraging births or accepting people from other cities. However, the world here is full of monsters, and it is difficult for cities to communicate with each other.
Where can they find people? The wanderers outside are not enough for three melons and two dates.
Zhu Qinghong couldn't help but think of the country to the east of Tianchong City. He would go and have a look later. There are priests in that country.
"You need people to keep an eye on the fields," she said with a smile. "Put the cabbage into the grain store when it's ripe, so everyone can eat a variety of things."
"Yes." Yuanyou went down holding the cloth.
Zhu Qinghong waved his hand and the map unfolded in front of him.
The flying camera couldn't detect further because something was blocking it. It seemed that the demons elsewhere were not weak, at least they were stronger than the ones she met.
You have to find a way to restore your combat effectiveness.
Minerals... where can I find them?
Zhu Qinghong's eyes moved to the country to the east. She was very interested in the abilities of the priests.
Outside the city.
The people farmed diligently. As soon as a demon approached, No. 1 and No. 2 quickly dealt with it.
Wei Zhou stood on the city wall, feeling very at ease.
The main street became more and more lively, and soldiers helped carry food.
Before lunch, a lot of food had to be made in the shop. Several people hurriedly hurried and were very busy. They wiped away their sweat and kept smiling.
Yuanyou directed a group of people to dig cabbage.
A group of soldiers moved the harvested cabbage into the grain warehouse.
Entered the grain depot and was under Ono's management.
Everyone performs their duties.
Zhu Qinghong rode on his speedster and disappeared into the forest of monsters, seeing many strange monsters along the way.
Some still retain the characteristics of animals, and some are no longer the same. Monsters are evolving, which is not good news for humans.
The forest of demons, with towering trees.
Zhu Qinghong was riding his bike over the woods when an unknown object suddenly struck him.
She drove a speeding car to avoid it, frowning.
You are clearly invisible, why can the other party find you?
Was that... a tail just now?
[Master, it is recommended to retreat immediately. A large number of creatures have been detected gathering here. Invisibility seems to be useless against them.]
"Damn it." Zhu Qinghong drove away immediately.
She already understands the danger of the Demonic Forest, and will not come again until her fighting strength is restored.
After she left, there were loud noises in the Demonic Forest. The trees overturned one after another, and it took a long time to calm down.
Zhu Qinghong went to the south to explore the river.
There are indeed many demons gathering here, and fights occasionally occur. Most of these demons have the characteristics of animals, which are safer than the forest of demons. As she goes up the river, the demons become more powerful as they go.
Unable to take risks, Zhu Qinghong made a decisive U-turn.
She then went to take a look at the country to the east and the city to the north to get a rough idea.
By the time we returned to Tianchong City, it was already dark.
Zhu Qinghong jumped off the ground and the speeding car recovered on its own.
The hall is brightly lit.
Ono provides the dinner menu.
After she made her choice, she sat down in the main seat. Minerals were detected in the big country in the east.
With minerals, she can restore a certain amount of combat effectiveness.
Zhu Qinghong was deep in thought when Yuanyou came in and presented the amount of cabbage collected today.
She took it and looked at it casually.
Things moved into the grain depot have their own Ono records. As long as the quantities are almost the same, there will be no problem...
"What's going on?" Zhu Qinghong frowned, "Are you sure you remember correctly? The quantity put into storage is obviously less than your record."
"This..." Yuanyou sighed, "Some people think it tastes good after eating it raw. Sometimes they take the food away."
You take one one by one, one by one, or a few people work together to get one. They think they won’t be discovered, and they should be fine if they find out?
As expected, one cannot eat too much. Zhu Qinghong stood up and returned the record to Yuan You: "The law will be promulgated tomorrow."
Before you have eaten or drank enough, you start stealing things. How can you tolerate it?
Zhu Qinghong’s eyes were sharp, just to scare the monkeys.
Yuanyou opened his mouth but said nothing.
Zhu Qinghong raised her hand, and a booklet fell into her palm, with simple laws written on it.
She handed it over, and Yuanyou quickly caught it with both hands and looked through it.
Zhu Qinghong sneered: "Steal a cabbage and chop off one of its fingers."
What?
Yuanyou raised his head in shock: "Is it too harsh? It's too cruel and may cause dissatisfaction among the people."
"Dissatisfied? Anyone who is dissatisfied will be kicked out." Zhu Qinghong said with cold eyes, "Tomorrow, I will order someone to read the law loudly at the city gate. Those who are restless will also be tortured on the spot. If you touch other people's things, you should be punished. I think
Let’s see who is dissatisfied.”
No precedent can be set.
People are best at pushing their limits. If one person does it without punishment, more and more people will follow suit.
Zhu Qinghong doesn't like white-eyed wolves. If this matter is not strangled in the cradle, the foundation will be unstable and people's hearts will fluctuate.
Yuanyou wants to persuade.
Zhu Qinghong raised his hand to stop him: "I have made up my mind. Military advisor of the Yuan Dynasty, we cannot be indecisive at this moment."
"Yes." Yuanyou lowered his head and saluted.
Only by decisive killing can unhealthy tendencies be cured.
He can't be soft-hearted, he can't be soft-hearted.
The next day, it was bright and clear.
Wei Zhou led his troops to guard the city gate.
They were very angry that someone was stealing!
As more and more people gathered together, Yuanyou unfolded the book and read loudly. The soldiers had quick eyesight and quick hands, and they were able to sneak out the few people who stole cabbage yesterday.
Those people were still smiling, not knowing that disaster was coming.
Another group of people came, and the soldiers immediately went up to arrest them, and they all kneeled on the ground.
Twenty or thirty people were detained one after another, and the people whispered. After Yuanyou finished reading, he closed the book: "These people steal cabbage, which is stealing everyone's rations. The city lord ordered: cut off one finger for each cabbage. Come,
Execution!"
A group of soldiers stepped forward, grabbed the prisoners' hands and pressed them to the ground. The prisoners panicked, cried bitterly, and struggled to beg for mercy.
The knife was just raised and fell heavily.
The prisoners screamed in pain.
The finger fell off and the blood continued to flow.
The common people turned pale with fright and retreated one after another. Someone stole two pills and naturally had two fingers cut off.
The soldiers didn't listen to their pleas for mercy at all. They raised their swords and dropped them. The ground at the gate of the city was stained with pools of blood, and fingers fell one after another.
Wei Zhou was scornful, he had known this so why did he do it in the first place. The soldiers were still filled with righteous indignation and glared at the prisoners fiercely.
Yuanyou closed his eyes and suppressed the unbearable feeling, then opened his eyes and spoke sternly: "Food belongs to everyone, no one can take it for himself. Today is just a small lesson, and next time you don't want it with your hands. I still don't thank the city lord.
magnanimity?"
The prisoners covered their hands, feeling hurt and regretful. Their fingers were cut off, and they also wanted to thank the city lord for his mercy.
The hot-blooded man threw stones at the prisoners: "You deserve to have your fingers chopped off if you steal everyone's food rations!"
After finally having food, who would want to have it stolen?
The crowd was excited and some cursed or spat.
If you don’t know how to live a good life, you don’t owe it to your hands!
